Is it reasonable to stop water supply without paying property fees? What is the basis?

There is no legal basis for the property company to stop water supply for you. The supply of tap water is only related to the water company. Only the water supply company can give a warning when residents don't pay the water fee, which has nothing to do with the property company.

The owner and the property management company are equal civil subjects, and both parties shall perform their respective obligations in accordance with the contract. If either party breaches the contract, it shall bear corresponding liabilities for breach of contract. If the owner fails to pay the property fee in time, he shall bear legal responsibility. Property companies have the right to require owners to pay property fees and bear certain liquidated damages. But the property company has no right to take measures to cut off water and electricity.

According to Article 45 of the Property Management Regulations, water supply, power supply, gas supply, heating, communication, cable TV and other units within the property management area shall charge relevant fees to the end users.

If the owner signs a contract with the water supply and power supply company and pays the corresponding fees to the water supply and power supply company, the water supply and power supply company shall supply water and power. The property company is not a party to the water supply and power supply contract and has no right to interrupt the water supply and power supply to the owner without authorization.

Extended data:

There are two ways for property management companies to stop water and power supply. One is clearly stipulated in the management convention that the property management company can take measures to cut off water and electricity for the owners who do not pay the property management fee. In this case, this measure is taken to safeguard the interests of the owners, and this right is not the property management company's own right.

The other is that when the water supply and power supply department signs a contract with the property management company and entrusts the property management company to collect the water and electricity charges, the owners who have not paid the water and electricity charges can take measures to cut off water and electricity according to the authorization of the water supply and power supply department. This right is essentially the agency right of the water supply and power supply department, and its civil consequences are borne by the water supply and power supply department.
